WALL - District 30 Assemblyman David Rible confirmed he was nominated Thursday night to lead the Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control, the state agency that oversees the sale of alcohol in New Jersey.

Rible, R-Wall, said he believes his law enforcement background coupled with his positions on alcohol law while in the Assembly contributed to Gov. Chris Christie picking him for the post.

"I'm very honored my governor called upon me to serve on an issue so important to me," Rible said Thursday night.

If confirmed by the New Jersey Senate, Rible would serve as ABC director until the end of Christie's term in December.

It would then be up to the next governor, either Republican candidate Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno or Democratic candidate and former U.S. Ambassador Phil Murphy, to decide if Rible continues in the post.
